Which allergens should I test for?
Phadia offers over 650 different allergens and 70 allergen components for sensitive and specific quantitative detection of allergen-specific IgE antibodies.
The substances to which a patient is exposed will generally dictate the allergens to test. Nevertheless, some allergens are more common as causes of allergy than others. Additional parameters to consider are:
- The patient’s age
- The symptoms
- Home environment (pets, hobbies, etc.)
- Where the patients live geographically
